This a sad story about the loss of two people. The writing is creative and new to me but understandable for the most part. You covered a lot of information with this style. I've never seen it before but great work all the same.

Because I find your words so beautiful, I keep stealing whole stanzas from you that I like to print and pin on my office wall or tuck in my notebook, I just want to thank you for them and tell you that today I stole the following:

"I am now at Peace...
"Forever...
"The *Suffering is now over and Gone...
"Just beautiful Angels that Sing...
"A Sweet, Sweet, Song...
"Yes, Safely Home...
"In Heaven at Last...
"Life over...
"Life passed...

"Safely Home, Together Again" {B}
"Here I go...
"Coming now...
"Next to You...
"Drifting...
"Coming next to You...
"To be...

Bless,
Apky

This speaks shocking and most grievous losses of lives in the family, wife and son, all from happy moments of playful living state to death as all bade good bye telling 'I'm safely home, I'm safely heaven'; I liked.

so sad and so emotionally written in short bursts of lines. A different form of writing than I have seen before but dramatically tells the story

Condolences from my house to yours. Death comes suddenly to those we love no matter how we try to prevent it. It is Gods way of saying it is their time to come home for they are needed and when it is your time Inwill be there for you to safely take you home to them. In the mean time your time here on earth is need to continue what you must do. I have your life all laid out for you.

I am on the organ donor list as well. I think it is the ultimate gift you can give someone. I am extremely sorry for your loss and was moved by your writing. I have included a few suggested changes that might help make it even stronger!

"Mother to Daughter's... " -especially to rhyme with slaughter later on and to match father to son, I recommend changing this to 'Mother to Daughter'

"Even in the most brightest of blue skies" -either get rid of most or change to most bright

'Every Lasting' -I think this should be 'ever' lasting

'My Only poor Son...' -completely a matter of taste, I just think it might flow better 'my poor, only son'

It's always good to feel our loved ones are safe wherever they are. Knowing that pain is over is a greater joy than the suffering of the loss (I hope). You have lost more than most and I hope your writing keeps you safe.

This is so well written with so much grief and pain. You used very good descriptive wording. I know it has to be hard to relive this time in your life. I am so sorry you lost your child and your wife. May God bless you and give you strength each day! Blessings, Teri
